School of Education and Human Services general requirements

  • Advising
    All students must schedule a program planning appointment with an adviser, after being notified of acceptance to a program, as follows:

    Students accepted into a doctoral or master’s program should call the faculty advisers identified in their letters of acceptance.

    All other students must contact the Teacher Education Advising Office at (248) 370-4182 or the Human Resource Development Advising Office at (248) 370-3061 for an appointment to complete a required plan of work.

Two course grades below 3.0 or one below 2.0 automatically lead to an evaluation of progress and possible dismissal.
